All,
I was detailing my Mini when I decided to pull up the covers that are located on the rear seats. When I openned the covers, I found that they concealed a small but solid horizontal metal bar. Does anyone know what this is. It looks to be a mount for racing harnesses. What is this amazing thing. Sorry if this has been discussed allready.

Cheers,

They are the lower attach points for the LATCH system child safety seats.

The bars are for the child anchoring system but they are also used for racing harnesses. Check this harness out at Mini-madness.com. They look cool but i am not sure if i want one, my MCS is even here yet anyways, but it is crossing the &quot;pond&quot;! YIPPEE!
